There’s also the morale factor to consider. Even though the game shows a giant PT boat fleet defeats any enemy, it will always suffer heavy casualties as it moves in. That’s ok from a command viewpoint but the jolly jack tars in the lead boats might disagree with the rationale :)

That reminds me of one wargame put out by Avalon Hill where if you make a team out of snipers only, you will always win. It's been a while so the name escapes me. I also had the computer game for G.I. Joe for the Apple //e in the mid 1980's, everytime I chose the character, Recondo (sniper), I never lost.
